CURRENT MISSION
To meet more incredible people along the way.
ABOUT ME
I've just finished my Spanish degree in Edinburgh and am about to move to Santiago (Chile) where I spent a year studying.
Born and raised in Sydney, I was dragged kicking and screaming to England. I know consider the UK my home and love both Bristol (where I first lived) and Edinburgh (where I'm now based).
Living so far away from "home" in Santiago was a really powerful experience. It wasn't always easy but it made me question for the first time who I am and what I want from my life. I am now more determined than ever to pursue three main goals: become fluent in Spanish, keep travelling, and meet people who change my view of the world.
When I am travelling I am always looking for new experiences. I am grateful to have so many incredible memories from travelling and find that the best moments from life come from when you are brave and say "Hell, why not, let`s do this".
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I couchsurfed when I travelled through Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Uruguay and now that I'm back in the UK I want to return the favour by hosting.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have no personal experience hosting couchsurfers but a good friend in Chile initiated me into this wonderful world and through her I have seen the potential that couchsurfing has to create strong and long-term friendships.
Interests
When I'm being a home-girl I like cooking with friends, going to the theatre, art exhibitions, cafes & restaurants. Most of all I love to go to music festivals. There is no better feeling than etting up the tent and cracking open the first cider in front of some sweet live music - ideally in the sunshine, although that's never guaranteed in England. Music festivals are my holidays and I spend my whole year looking forward to them. My favourites are WOMAD, Glastonbury & Bestival in the UK.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Climbed up a mountain in the middle of the night in Valle del Elqui in Chile, lay down on the ground with friends, a bonfire, a stray dog, and some Pisco, and watched the Milky Way move above our heads.
